HClO pKa = 7.497 HCl pKa = -8.000
HCl is a far stronger acid.
For future reference: type the name of the compound into wikipedia and look down the right hand side to find it's pKa value. Do the same for your second compound.
The lowest pKa is the more acidic compound.

Which react faster HCL or sulfuric acid?
HCl is more acidic.. so it reacts faster.
What is the chemical formula for Hydrochloric Acide?
HClO. The Ionization Equation is H+ + ClO-
Function of HCl in stomach?
HCL makes the food acidic.
Is HCL acidic in aqueous solution?
If it is only HCL, yes.
Why does pH of HCl increase as HCl is diluted?
The pH increases because the HCl is becoming less acidic. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH falls below 7, acidity increases. As pH rises above 7, basicity increases. Diluting HCl means that the HCl becomes less concentrated, and therefore, less acidic. As it becomes less acidic, the pH will become more basic, and thus increase.
What is the pH of stomach fluids?
It is very acidic like HClO so it can vary from 1 to 2. =)
Chlorine gas is bubbled through a solution of distilled water?
you get HCl and HClO
What is the for the reaction between chlorine and water?
The reaction is Cl2 + H2O --> HCl + HClO
What is the fluid the stomach?
It is very acidic like HClO so about 1
Why does 1m solution of hcl considered more acidic than 1m soltion of ch3ooh?
because hcl is more acidic than ch3cooh. ch3cooh (ethanoic acid) is a weak acid whereas hcl is a very strong acid.
Which react faster HCL or sulfuric acid?
HCl is more acidic.. so it reacts faster.

Is chlorine gas an acidic or alkaline gas?
It is a neutral gas that bleaches damp litmus paper. Gases themselves are not acidic/alkaline, it is only when they are combined with hydrogen ions (Hence the damp litmus paper) that they become acidic/alkaline and in this case acidic.

Diluting HCl means that the HCl becomes less concentrated, and therefore, less acidic. As it becomes less acidic, the pH will become more basic, and thus increase.
Is HClO a acid or a base?
No. HCl is the formula for hydrochloric acid (a strong acid).
